It is Easter Saturday, so as of the Vigil tonight we are an Alleluia people again. So it is a good day to look at the last song from John Burland‘s album, Arise. This song is another joint writing effort with Gary Pinto.
This is a catchy praise and worship style song and is a solo or choir vehicle in its set key. Bring it down from Bb to F and it is just about singable for an assembly. So then it would a gathering hymn or for Christ the King – always a hard feast for which to find acceptable music.
The sheet music collection is only $A15 to download from Burland’s site.
My BIAB backings can’t match the slick Nashville production that Burland uses, but it’s fun trying.
Chorus 1
Alleluia, Alleluia to the King,
Alleluia, Alleluia we will sing,
cause I know you walk beside me
and you’re showing me the way,
Alleluia, Alleluia to the King.1 Come let us worship and bow down,
from all the corners of the world let praise abound.
Come let us make a joyful sound,
let’s lift our voices high for blessings all aroundChorus 1
2 In every moment of the day,
with every breathe we take let us sing your praise.
And when go to sleep we pray,
that in everything we glorify your name.Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Thank you Jesus, for the love you give to me.
Thank you Jesus, for your love that sets us free,
cause I know you walk beside me and you’re showing me the way.
Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus.Chorus 1
Cause I know you walk beside me and you’re showing me the way.
